About

Lee has spent over 20 years in hospitality working for companies such as Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and Aqua by El Gaucho.  He served as a wine captain at Aqua for 10 years, before moving to wine syndicate director, overseeing wine selection and procurement for all Fire & Vine locations.

Lee was born in Fort Campbell, Kentucky as his father served in the Army, and was fortunate to live in numerous countries through his dad’s various deployments.  Growing up within a military family taught Lee perseverance, resilience and service to others, which reflects in his work ethic and commitment to his customers.

In 2019, Lee took over Seattle Wine Storage, seizing the chance to deepen connections with clientele and delve into their wine preferences. Recognizing a gap in servicing Canadian customers in the north Seattle area, Lee embarked on establishing Nexus Wine Storage.

Outside of work, Lee enjoys spending time with his family and traveling with his wife Van.
